 310/-! ## 5b. Order on LogicNat
 311
 312Order is forced by the orbit's cost ordering: in the orbit
 313`{1, γ, γ², ...}` with `γ > 1`, the cost `J(γⁿ)` is strictly
 314increasing in `n`. Section 6's `embed_strictMono` establishes this
 315analytically. Here we define the abstract Peano order intrinsically
 316to `LogicNat` (via existence of an additive complement) so the order
